This place is amazing! I was staying in Pasadena for New Years and forgot to pack a pocket square for the party I was attending. I found this shop on Unilocal and walked out with 4 pocket squares, two jackets, and a French cuff dress shirt. Maryann, the shop owner, helped me out and was clairvoyant in her knowledge of what sizes I would be for the jackets. She had a great selection to choose from and gave me a great deal on some holidays close outs. What 6 shops at an outlet mall couldn’t provide Chicks and Blokes did on New Years Eve in 20 minutes. Guys, If you hate shopping and want great clothes and great help from someone who knows their stuff, stop by!

I’ve passed by this store more times than I can count, but never went in. Why? After my first experience, I can’t give you a good enough reason as to why. This store rocks! I was drawn in by a gorgeous blush colored sequin tank trimmed in feathers in the window. Trust me, it’s AMAZING! I tried it on, but was curious about another size. The store owner, Mary Ann, was kind enough to order another size for me. 2 days later, I got a call that the top was in store. I ended up going with the size I originally tried on, but MAJOR brownie points for customer service. I ended up leaving with an adorable tan/cobalt blue/white sweater as well as the tank. Love them both so much I could cry! This store is a treasure for sure. It’s a great place to go for on-trend casual or special occasion pieces. The merchandise is carefully crafted, and the racks are not overloaded with garments. I could really look through the racks without feeling like I was overwhelmed or, worse yet, missing something. Clothing racks are also somewhat color coordinated making it easy to bypass the colors I don’t look good in. Price points are comparable to Zara. Perhaps, the best part of the store are the dressing rooms. I’m a sucker for a plush, pretty dressing room. This one is certainly plush and pretty complete with heels if I wanted to try on a dress or skirt I appreciate this small but important gesture. Simply put, this store is worth a visit, and another visit, and another visit. The staff is very helpful, and the merchandise is beautiful and easy to shop. Obviously as the name denotes, there is clothing for men and women making it a win/win for shopping couples. And if you’re, single it’s perfect for a first date outfit… or a freakum dress. In either case, don’t think, just go to Chicks & Blokes.

Hands down one of the best shops for both men’s and women’s clothes. The dresses are beautiful, as are the men’s suits and button ups. My husband and I were walking around paseo after lunch and stopped in due to the fact that they had a shirt in the window that caught my husbands eyes. He isn’t big on shopping for himself, so when he points something out I have to jump at the opportunity. We went in and discovered they were having a sale, so as he browsed around, I took a moment to do so as well. I found quite a few dresses that I would have loved to add to my collection, but I had just done a whole ton of seasonal shopping for myself so I refrained. But in the back of my mind I made a mental note to return in the future. Now that I’m pregnant I’ll have to wait a bit longer than anticipated. Anyhow, my husband found a few button ups, a few tshirts and a sweet jacket. He tried all the items on and decided on a few items to make his. The sale was awesome too, I can’t remember what exactly we spent, but I know it was a great deal. I know where to go when I need a present for my husband, or a dress for myself. The ladies that work here and or own the shop, I’m unsure of which, are helpful and super friendly. Stop in if you’re in the neighborhood, as I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll love.
